I created a number var with better logic and made a device with better logic paired with this variable.
however, in flows this device is not available like a bit flip button is.
any ideas how I can make a slider button to control the dim level of the bulb?
what device did you connect to the variable? Which slider button? You have to use a variable with a value between 0 and 1 for dimming...
could you explain
how to connect own pult and homey together?
if I connect pult - homey is lost connection
if I connect Homey - pult is lost connection
I can't to do together
After updating the bulbs to the latest firmware with a Bridge I can dim the bulbs directly from Homey in devices
In Homey I created a variable (number) and set it to 0.01
In a flow the TRADFRI Rotating Dimmer can create output.
So When I turn the dimmer Homey will say something between 0.01 and 1.00
But If I create a flow with the dimmer and the bulbs I cannot set the dimm level.
I only have brightness or relative brightness.
Any suggestions?
Might take some tries to work...
Connected to the Bridge and the IOS app or dimmer it can be dimmed
Does the Homey Ikea Tradfri app needs an update?
it needed some tries to work indeed. Got a NOT possible sign all the times when not dragged properly

AND: Math.js expression
ELSE Turn off <span></span>
Are the TRADFRI light bulbs Bi-directional ?
(is it possible for the Bulbs to communicate its state/condition (on/off/dim) to Homey?)

what is your native language? ;-)
I guess the problem above is we don't know what Pult is, but googling and reading the manual of what we call the "Remote Control" http://www.ikea.com/nl/nl/manuals/tradfri-dimset__AA-1894598-5_pub.pdf
this Remote is what you call the Pult ??
Seadme tüüp: Juhtmevaba kaugjuhtimispult (EESTI)
Iekārtas tips: bezvadu tālvadības pults (LATVIEŠU)
Type of equipment: Wireless remote control
I am not sure it is possible to connect both at the same time.
First: The Wireless remote control is not supported by Homey at the moment.
Second I have seen after controlling lights directly with the rotating Dimmer strange things, Homey doesn't know about the changed status of the light bulb, making things inconsistent.
Although I like the idea of having a direct control this is certainly not ideal from the Homey (or Remote control) experience.
I will look if I can test it again.
Is this something that will be added in the future?
THX!
You did installed the Ikea app right? Got my GU10 paired with slider etc.
Might be the Device ID etc. changed? Read something about that somewhere...if that is the case, you might need to wait on an app update.
What type GU10 Bulbs did you add?
yesterday I grabbed the wrong type TradFri GU10 bulbs. These were only Dim, not Color Temperature. The bulbs are not on the (Dutch) IKEA Site yet. Guess these IDs are not yet in the App
See my msg in the Dutch section.
and I'm sure Athom will update the product ID's within the IKEA app soon....
Nice to hear where Homey finds its ways!
To come back on your issue:
Yes I see here the same, a bulp can only be paired with one device at a time.
While (as far as I read in the manuals ) it is possible with the IKEA Hub to Pair the Bulb to both the Hub and a what they call "Steering Device" like the 5 button remote.
Would be nice if that would also be possible with Homey! (Yeah I Already miss it, I want direct control if possible to eliminate Homey as a Single Point of Failure. ) I guess it is not easy but we could always make a feature request.
I created an GH issue for your Qestion, I like the Direct Association with the bundles remotes also.

Reproduced this issue today with a Float panel an a TRADFRI 5 Button Remote
Hello, I bought a TRADFRI bulb GU10 400lm, 2700K dimmable led light, from Ikea Belgium.
It is not recognised by the IKEA Trådfri app.
It appears in HOMEY as an Unknown ZigBee device, with only on/off possebilities.
Any ideas on this or is it the same issue ?
